MAX SIMSON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

FINGER-RING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 10, 1917.

Application filed June 10, 1916. Serial no. 102,832.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX SIMsoN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Finger- Rings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in the construction of finger rings, and has as its principal object the making of such rings by a new process of extreme simplicity, whereby rings may be constructed of light and delicate formation without the work usually attended upon such processes.

This object is attained by the novel design and process of construction hereafter described and indicated by the drawing forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a finger ring, including means for mounting precious stones or the like, made in accordance with the invention. 7

Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the flat blank.

Fig. 3 is a similar side view showing the same blank further perforated.

Fig. 4 shows the blank in a further com pleted condition and containing the ornamental lace inserts desired.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the same blank after bending and formed to receive the insert.

Fig. 6 is a side view of an insert used between the two main portions of the ring at their periphery and crown.

Fig. 7 is a similar view of one of the lace inserts, and

Fig. 8 is a transverse sectional view of the ring taken on line 8-8 of Fig. 4 and drawn to an enlarged scale.

In carrying outthe invention, sheet material is used, the same being blanked into the shape shown in Fig. 2 by ordinary stamping processes, the blank consisting of the lower or ring section 10 having the finger opening 11, and surmounted by the crown 12 afterward to be formed into the stone mounting.

Either at the time of blanking or in a second operation, openings 14 are formed in the crown portion of the ring in which are secured by brazing or other analogous means, the lace inserts 15 which may be of any desired form, or configuration, and which become essentially an integral part of the ring blank.

It is to be understood that two blanks are used in the construction of each ring forming the sides thereof, and which are held together by brazing or other suitable means, the upper portion of the blanks being slightly bent outward to receive the inserts 16 forming one of the several sides or faces of .the prong portion of the ring which is bent into any desired form as indicated in Fig. 5.

In the view shown, the upper portion of the crown is given a hexagonal form, con taining a plate 17 through which is an opening 18 adapted to receive the stone in the usual manner, but it will be obvious that any polygonal shape may be given the upper portion of the ring as desired.

From the foregoing it will be evident that a ring may be constructed of any desired metal, and in any preferred thickness in which the interstices of the lace inserts may be formed prior to inserting, either by dies or a hand-work, and that the labor involved is far less than the usual construction wherein the ring is made solid and the mounting prepared by laborious processes in the con struction of the side elements of the ring.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A finger ring comprising a pair of substantially circular bands having their lower parts permanently held in axial alinement to form a finger opening while the upper parts project outwardly from one another to present a polygonal gem setting support open at the top, polygonal shaped openings formed in the upper parts of said circular bands, perforate plates fitting in said poly onal openings, and gem holding means secured in the opening at the top of said gem setting support.

2. A finger ring comprising a pair of substantially circular bands having their lower parts permanently held in axial alinement to form a finger opening while the upper parts project outwardly from one another to present a polygonal gem shaped setting means secured in the top of said gem setting support at the t0p,-p01yg0na1 shaped opensupport. ings in the upper parts of said circular Signed at New York in the county of 10 bands, perforate plates fitting in said po- New York, and State of New York, this lst 5 lygonal openings, triangularly formed per- 7 day of June, 1916.

fomte plates disposed between the upper parts of the circular band, geni holding MAX SIMSON.
